I met someone over the radio, and he had seen this website, I don't think he will join (if you are wondering), be had read my posts and knew who I was herepretty sure he read all that before I told him I was a member here, he reminded me of things I had posted and forgot about.just to let you know that it seems like you are reaching a pretty big group of people out there (at least it seems that way if I randomly met one person, and he knew of the site and what we talk about, and it was the only new person I met that month )

Just programmed a bf-f8hp for a friend last night using Chirp, the only thing it would not do is upload the repeater call sign,(which do not show on the radio anyway), I was surprised that it went so smoothly with all the problems everyone else was having. I downloaded the original programming to chirp which, as I understand, keeps the chipset in Chirp, but I'm not that computer savvy so maybe I was just lucky.

I gave one of these away at a trade show I was in as a free raffle. Many of the people that came by my booth wanted to buy it. But I was already advertised as a raffle. I would like to be a dealer for them and start selling them my self.
